Mommy, will you come dance with me at my wedding please?

Today I am home on a Monday with both Max and Ellie sick. I should be working. I'm sitting in the living room beside Max who is playing with toys, while I "play" on my laptop. (Which is a bad story to start, but is the conflicting life I am living as my children grow).

Ellie comes in dressed head to toe in anything pink she could find in her dress up box. She says, "Excuse me Mommy. Will you please come dance with me at my wedding?"

I stopped what I was doing, looked up and smiled. What else could I say, but "of course Ellie."

I get up and take her hand. We begin to spin around the living room. I start singing You Are My Sunshine to her. She says, "no mommy, it's a different big girl song."

So, I stop singing and just listen to her sing the song she has made up. We danced. I spun her some. She loves the spins!

I love my Ellie Grey so much!
